The informal name of Israel's eminent spy agency. Some of the most famous Mossad operations are: 1. Eli Cohen was an Israeli spy best known for his espionage work in 1961–1965 in Syria, where he developed close relationships with the political and military hierarchy and became the Chief Adviser to the Minister of Defense. Before he was caught by Syria, he managed to memorize precise locations of over 100 of Syria's rockets that were pointing toward Israel. Eli Cohen's work saved Israel in its northern front during the Six Day War. 2. The Mossad coordinated "Operation Thunderbolt" a successful counter-terrorism hostage-rescue mission carried out by commandos of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) at Entebbe Airport in Uganda on 4 July 1976. 3. Operation Opera also known as Operation Babylon, was a surprise Israeli air strike carried out on 7 June 1981, which destroyed an Iraqi nuclear reactor under construction 17 kilometers southeast of Baghdad.
